Problem with VPN concentrator at hs-mannheim
|
|
Hi, A friend of mine is having problems to use vpnc to connect to his university since they've changed to use certificate based authentification only. The version used is latest SVN (from today). Of course, it has been built with certificate support enabled and the appropriate root certificate has been installed. The clock is working correctly on his computer and vpnc says "Match", so I think there's nothing wrong with the certificate itself. On Windows Vista with the proprietary VPN client, everything works. A strange issue is that when coming from the network of another university which cooperates with his, everything works. Maybe they configured a part of the authentication scheme to assume "good clients" when coming from specific networks? However, in Windows Vista, connecting works from everywhere! Configuration looks like this (passwords obfuscated): IPSec ID hsma IPSec gatway vpn.hs-mannheim.de IPSec secret OBFUSCATED IKE Authmode hybrid XAuth username OBFUSCATED XAuth password OBFUSCATED You can find some information about the VPN access in german on http://www.rz.hs-mannheim.de/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=162&Itemid=246#Mobil I've attached the output of vpnc --debug=3 in working (connecting from "trusted network") and non-working state. non-working means that no traffic is routed through the VPN at all. Do you have any idea what the problem could be? Is this a known bug? How can we debug any further? Best regards, Michael
